How does the Antichrist gain his kingdom according to Daniel 11?
According to Daniel 11, the Antichrist gains his kingdom not by being given the honor of a king or by violent overthrow, but peaceably through subterfuge, intrigue, political maneuvering, and flattery. He tells people what they want to hear, promising peace and prosperity, and uses deception to rise to rule.
Les teaches that Daniel 11:21 leaps 2,500 years to an end-time individual described as a vile person. They will not give him the honor of the king, meaning there is no great landswell of voting for this guy. Instead he comes with subterfuge, intrigue, and political maneuvering. He comes peaceably, not by violent overthrow, and obtains the kingdom by flattery. He says what people want to hear and gets away with it because he is a liar by makeup, saying whatever is needed to attain his ends. Daniel 11:22 indicates he signs a treaty with Israel using flattery and promises of peace and prosperity, but then turns on them and brings violent pressure. Verse 36 says this end-time world ruler shall do according to his will.
And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
